The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.

A neutron star is a star that has collapsed under it's own gravity to a diameter of between 10 and 15 kilometres. SGR 1806-20 is the name of a magnetar, which is a type of neutron star. It is located 50,000 light years away from Earth.

What Materials in the core of a supernova?

A supernova happens when most of the core of the collapsing star has become neutrons, held up against gravity by neutron degeneracy pressure. At this point a shockwave reflects from the neutron star surface, driving the supernova explosion.So the answer to your question is neutrons.
